Police are investigating a shooting at a Bellambi home in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Shots were fired into the Whitby Mews townhouse just before 1am. It is believed the gunman made his way on foot along the cycleway and fired one to two shots into a downstairs window at the back of the house.

A neighbour rushed outside with a stick believing an intruder had kicked down his colorbond fence.

‘‘I ran downstairs but they had gone,’’ said the man, who did not want to be named. ‘‘But it wasn’t the fence at all, someone had fired shots into the house next door.’’

Police established a crime scene and canvassed the area for forensic evidence.

No one was injured, however police said three adults were upstairs asleep when the shots were fired.
